about dougie

Dougie is the bass player and backing vocalist of british pop-rock band McFly. He has co-writer credits on many of McFly's tracks, including the lead writer credit on their 2007 number one single "Transylvania". Poynter also wrote an unrecorded track called Silence Is A Scary Sound, which is featured as a live recording on their third studio album Motion In The Ocean. Poynter was 15 when he joined the band. Because of his young age, Dougie and the other members of McFly hold the record for the youngest band to ever have a debut album go straight to number one, a record previously held by The Beatles. McFly are currently recording their 6th studio album... keep reading.

A few days ago I asked you guys to vote for McFly as our favorite visual performers,( you can see the post Here), well today the flecking records website posted the results and.. McFly are the winners!!!

McFly are the entertainers who you guys think put on the best visual performance.

The plan was to find out which performer didn’t just have the voice, but also put on the best stage show – we’re talking lights, pyrotechnics, costumes, hair, moves… the works.

Competition was tough! For the boys we had McFly and Adam Lambert, and Katy Perry and Lady GaGa for the girls. All put on fantastic shows, but it was McFly who came out on top.

In second place we had the lovely Mr Adam Lambert, followed by Lady GaGa and then Katy Perry.

I know McFly is not a boyband but it seems that they didn’t know it until some fans wrote them.. Anyways you can vote for McFly HERE

UPDATE: 12 hours. Over 700 votes. Lots of angry MP!ers. Yes, the Battle Of The Boy Band Tours has officially begun. We’ve learnt McFly most definitely aren’t a boyband, MP!ers like exclamation marks, and that hopes aren’t high for JLS’s 4th Dimension Tour. Read on to get all the goss, and have your say in our vote.

The guitars are tuned, the lights are dimmed, the merch has been sorted and back flips have been rehearsed… Four of the best UK boy bands are getting to ready to take their show on the road, meeting fans and playing their biggest hits in venues all across the country – but which tour are YOU most excited for?

JLS vs. The Wanted vs. McFly vs. Twenty Twenty – keep reading to see the results of our highly scientific experiment, and then cast your vote in our official Battle Of The Boy Band Tours poll to help decide on an official winner!

Category one – Setlist
JLS: They’ve managed to keep it under wraps for now, but it’s likely that we’ll hear hit singles like ‘Beat Again’, ‘Everybody In Love’, ‘She Makes Me Wanna’, ‘The Club Is Alive’ – and with the boys halfway through recording their new album, maybe we’ll be treated to a new song!

The Wanted: Apart from Jay hinting that there’s another secret medley planned, nothing else is known – however, we’ve managed to have a sneak peek at the setlist and we can safely say that our heart started racing when we saw that they boys are planning an exciting re-imagining of one of their classic tracks…

McFly: With 5 albums under their belts, it’s hard to say what to expect from the boys – but we’re sure that all the biggest hits will be showcased and we’d even bet there’ll be a surprise cover or two.

Twenty Twenty: Expect to hear the massive ‘Love To Life’ and recent single ‘Move It’ – but apart from that, your guess is as good as ours!

MP! winner: The Wanted

Category two – Support acts
JLS: The boys have enlisted the help of former The Wanted support act Starboy Nathan – seen this before and although he’s not terrible, he does have a tendency to take his shirt off a lot and we were hoping to be exposed to the next big thing.

The Wanted: Support acts overload! New band Lawson, girl group Fanfair, singer songwriter Ben Montague are all on the line-up and rumour has it that dressing room enemies Parade will also take to the stage – but nothing’s been confirmed yet!

McFly: The band are running a once in a lifetime competition where any band can be nominated for the chance to support them at different dates – a perfect chance to be introduced to brand new talent. Voting is now closed, but you can check out the Top 50 here – 26 of which will join the boys on the road!

Twenty Twenty: Lesser known bands Room 94 and FutureProof will be warming up the crowd for the Twenty Twenty boys. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of them, there won’t be a test.

MP! winner: It’s a draw between The Wanted and McFly

Category three – Ticket prices

JLS: The cheapest available are £25 – but if you’ve got £99 lying around, why not treat yourself to the VIP package? (Tickets available here)

The Wanted: Starting at £19.50 – and remember you might be seeing 4 support acts as well as the boys. Sounds like a good deal to us! (Tickets available here)

McFly: Roughly around £31.50 – but because they’ve been on sale for a while, there’s not many left… (Tickets available here)

Twenty Twenty: Hold on to your hats penny pinchers – tickets are only £10! That’s a price that gets the MP! stamp of approval – now you’ve got no excuse not to go… (Tickets are available here)

MP! winner: Twenty Twenty

Category four – Nipple
JLS: We all know these guys can’t go for a whole day without slipping a nip. In fact we’re surprised their nipples aren’t the support act.

The Wanted: If we all agree to chant “NIPPLE” when the boys are leaving the stage, maybe Tom will come back on and give us a cheeky flash. All together now…

McFly: Harry had his almost every week on Strictly Come Dancing – so we reckon keeping them under wraps for a whole tour will be hard for him. Keep your eyes peeled.

Twenty Twenty: Errrr, probably not.

MP! winner: JLS

It’s official – our personal winner of the Boy Band Tour poll is The Wanted. We’ve seen the artwork, we’ve seen the setlist and we can’t wait to see the support acts too – but do YOU agree?

Well if you’re a JLSter, Twenty Twenty devotee or McFly super fan, fear not because now everyone has the chance to cast their vote. Go through the evidence listed above, make your decision wisely and then vote in the official poll below…

Heat Magazine asked to their readers in a poll who was the sexiest man of the planet this year and surprise or not the winner was David Beckham, Dougie and Harry are on the list too but not in the first spots. Harry is at #12 and Dougie at #45.

Female celebs have long battled it out to top FHM’s annual Sexiest Women in the World poll, but now it’s time for the lads to get a look in, as those saucepots over at Heat magazine have unveiled their inaugural Sexiest Man On The Planet list.

But despite all the rippling muscles, coiffed hair and perfectly trimmed designer beards among the blokes in celebsville nowadays, there is still one old timer that is showing the young’uns how it’s done.

So the winner of Sexiest Man on the Planet 2012? Why, it’s Golden Balls himself Mr David Beckham of course!

Becks proved he really has still got it, beating off stiff competition from young whipper-snappers like Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson to the title of Hottest Hunk.

But it was a closely fought competition, as also charting highly were some of Hollywood’s finest with Johnny Depp, Ryan Renoylds and Bradley Cooper all making the top 10.

Some of X Factor’s most delectable males also debuted on the list, with Olly Murs charting at 22, and man bander Gary Barlow coming in at 13. One Direction’s Harry Styles also beat bandmates Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik who all managed places 18, 47 and 51 respectively.

Meanwhile Strictly’s Harry Judd bagged himself 12th place, proving that women go for ballroom champions over Kings of the Jungle after beating McFly bandmate and I’m A Celeb champ Dougie Poynter, who landed at 45.

Over 1,000 readers took part in the Heat poll, with the results from 26-101 based upon their votes alone, and the top 25 based upon reader votes combined with the votes of an expert panel.

Of the list Heat chief Lucy Cave said: “There is genuinely no-one more deserving of the title Sexiest Man On The Planet 2012 than David Beckham. He’s got the lot – talent, style, sex appeal, charisma. Women adore him, men want to be him, and we’re absolutely thrilled that he has topped our poll.”

The website Young Guns Music is doing a poll and they ask among other things what album we think is the most anticipated of 2012. McFly are nominated on this category but they’re losing so we have to vote for them.

Entertainmentwise is looking for who we think is the best Reality TV Star and Dougie is among the nominees for I’m a Celebrity.

It has been another huge year for reality TV and with the old traditional shows like The X Factor, Big Brother and The Only Way Is Essex having returned to our screens, new favourites including My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding also battled it out for a place in our hearts and our TV screens.

Lets face it! It’s the stars that make the show and this year we have had our fair share of dramas, tears, laughter and stormy arguments thanks to reality TV….But who has entertained you the most?

Do you think Paddy Doherty’s time on Celebrity Big Brother should go down as reality TV gold? Or do you think Amy Childs should be crowned best reality star of 2011 for breaking away from The Only Way Is Essex and launching her own reality show, All About Amy?

What about Dougie Poynter? He may be a musician but since his win in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, has he made the transition to the most lovable reality star in your eyes?
